    @trouttaco what type of leak did they fix and what did they do to fix it? Mine just started to leak at the top right corner next to the cab. I noticed the constant drips while washing my truck last week :/

    I had that same issue. My gasket was pinched all weird. You could see daylight through it. And they updated all my doors.

    Not my photos, but the post came from @MESO in another thread.
    I went off these and had no issues.

    Purchased two of these seat back organizers from Amazon.

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZXL0P6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Wz5cDbZNYB4N4

    I cut the webbing straps off the top and bottom that go around the seats.
    They conveniently come with loops and carabiners at the top and are able to stretch out enough to hook to the fasteners for the cab side panel.

    There are also loops towards the bottom I plan to fasten to the OEM front bed track to hold the bottom down.

    The pockets are kind of small but i think they should work well for my things. Build quality is typical Chinese grade.

    Also the lower pocket/pouch is Velcro backed and removable.

    With new tent.

    Old tent came off ok knowing that I already had a tear and didn’t care if I added another. New tent went on so easy, I’ll definitely be taking it off in the future when I wash off after the dusty summer.

    Also got the new hinge on. Rivers off and on in about an hour, really easy repair. I may consider asking them for at least one or two more of each hinge just in case.

    Anyone interested in my old tent?

    Is the new tent the fabric material?

    I'm currently in a holding pattern waiting for my new tent and hinge to arrive. Any tips or is it really that easy? Also any sign of water intrusion yet? My GFC finally gave in and has starting dripping in the front right next to the cab.

    It's DLX son!
    Yes - it's darker than the original material and has that new strap across the back window.

    Yikes - did your hinge blow out too or is this to address a leak issue?

    Hinge probably wasn't the right term to use. I'm waiting for the tubes, the rear one is locked shut with rust after not using it for a month during April rains and the "hinge tube" (cab side) is filled with rust as well.
